Daniel Farke makes 'perfect' claim about Leeds United's win over Hull City

Daniel Farke hailed a “perfect finish” to the opening month as Leeds beat Hull City 2-0 to maintain their unbeaten start to the Championship season.

Mateo Joseph and Joel Piroe scored second-half goals to hand the Whites a second successive win and condemn the Tigers to their maiden loss of the campaign, leaving City without a win under Tim Walter.

Joseph neatly turned in a left-wing cross from debutant Manor Solomon at the near post in the 63rd minute before substitute Piroe finished coolly nine minutes from time from Junior Firpo’s cross.

Those second-half strikes in an entertaining Yorkshire derby ensured Farke’s men made it four league games without defeat and followed last Friday’s 2-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday.

Farke said: “We spoke about a perfect away performance at Sheffield Wednesday and that today feels like a perfect home performance. It’s never that easy when you have so many incomings but I’m really happy and delighted.

“It’s important to finish the game with a clean sheet and it’s good for the mood, the table and the confidence. Overall, I would say it was a perfect finish to August. With eight points out of four games and three clean sheets, we’re on a good path.”

Farke singled out Joseph for special praise after his first goal of the season and backed him to continue shining. He added: “Once you move up to senior level, at 18 or 19, it’s hard to learn the natural instinct of a striker. You either have it or you don’t and there’s still work to do, but Mateo definitely has it. He scored a lot of goals at youth level but has to keep going on this path. If he does, then he has a chance of having a very good career.”
